I think maybe chainfire will not update this app again , and in fact I have done it myself and released the first version source code on Github three months ago .

It's a basic version without many functions and work just fine if the network is OK , but there's a (maybe two) bug that I don't fix it (emm , I have not even debug it) will occur in poor network (specifically , it may crash when http request can't reach 500px server).

Just in case you have interest in it , you can find the repo in my github : /ArcherCX/500PaperXrawler (I'm not allowed to post outside link yet)

Hey guys, I've stumbled over this app which seems to implement what 500 firepaper did, but with more options: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bryanwalsh.redditwallpaper2

Thanks to chainfire for 500 firepaper - it was a great companion over many years!

Would it be possible to put in the feature to see the name of the photo and photographer of the currently showing picture in the app? I came across a photo that I really liked but it's hard to find it on 500px without any info.
[Android Apps and Games] scissorscrush:
I just have a black screen as the wallpaper, the app has downloaded the data but doesn't show up with anything... Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] PRoPAiN!:
Absolutely ADORE this app! And while I hate to be THAT guy, the Nude category doesn't work. I did notice that to see any "adult content" on 500px, I had to sign up and enable it in the account settings.

ON TOPIC: It's a really nice app and i really like it, but i can't exactly say that the photos look good on my Z Ultra. They're just too low-res, so they look pixelated. There's nothing you can do about it though, so that's kind of sad. Either way, thumbs up!

Tried it as the only category and cofirmed it works for for me. Guess it was just overshadowed by the other categories I had selected (Nature, Underwater, and Urban Exploration) to the point it it never came up.

So, a way to limit/balance categories might be a good thing... :D

Couple of times when I have exited day dream mode with back button and have removed charging cable after entering pin the phone wont react to any commands except I'm able to open notification drawer. Only way to get the phone working normally again is to either reboot or plug it in to charger and wait for day dreaming to start again. After that I can exit day dreaming and everything works correctly. I'll try to find a way to replicate that behavior.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Feature Request/Suggestion:

If possible, allow these images to be in a WIDGET too. (for still images only)

Why would I suggest for a widget when the image can be set to the background itself?

Well, I use Aviate Launcher and it doesn't allow me to see the system background image that has been set. It is kind of an app in itself. I have grown quite fond of using this launcher.

It does allow me to set WIDGETS on the homescreen. So for now, I have my lockscreen's background to be set to system background to be able to see these beautiful pics from 500px(and i am loving it). But if possible, I would also like to see these images on my homescreen in the form of a widget. (if that's possible).
[Android Apps and Games] reeco:
Guys if you want to save wallpapers. Download nova launcher and completely clear the screen of every widget and application, hide the status bar.

Then take a screenshot. You now have a perfect resolution image that is saved.

[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
Thanks Chainfire! I love 500px and this is exactly what I've been looking for! I've been using the same live wallpaper since I got my phone over a year ago but now I'm not going back! Working great on my GNEX, although I can't find the data folder anywhere. I've looked in the data folder and the obb folder but can't find the app's folder. Any ideas?

How does the resizing/cropping work exactly and would it be possible to have some options for that?

More importantly, would it be possible to have an option to launch the 500px app to get more info on a particular image? Maybe an option to substitute the 3-finger tap to launch 500px instead of going to the next image, or a 4-finger tap?

Anyway, thanks again for all the great work! Everything you create is simply amazing!

Note: For those who asked, I believe it's called 500 Firepaper because it's a live wallPAPER that gets images from 500px and it was created by ChainFIRE! :)

i'm ok with earthporn, but wish i could change it from "best of all time" setting to something like "best of the month." I'm just not getting enough variety with the current setting.

i was looking to see if there is maybe an xposed xtension or a patch to do that, and stumbled on this thread.

Wow! Triple tap now loads 500px! FLAWLESS APP!
[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
Hi Chainfire!

I have some feedback for you.

While the triple-tap works great at loading 500px, it does have the potential to cause an unexpected annoyance.

I sometimes swipe through my homescreens really fast to get from one to another. When performing 3 quick swipes, 500 Firepaper interprets that as a triple-tap and loads the app.

Not a big deal but just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

By the way, this is on version 1.11. I have yet to receive the update for 1.12.

I can now confirm that it's also present on 1.12.

Keep in mind that if nothing can be done for this minor annoyance, I don't care! I want to be able to triple-tap to get info so I'll simply change my way of doing things if I need to. It's worth it! :)

I also posted about it on DPReview.

Can someone tell if this thing works on MIUI ROM? I installed it but it doesn't do anything (no errors either). Probably MIUI wallpaper is overriding this.
[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
I have noticed some occasional frame drops with parallax enabled on my Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3, but not all the time. I think it has something to do with the resolution of the image being fetched. Sometimes it's smooth, sometimes it's a bit laggy. It's always smooth when parallax is disabled. I'm sure this will be fixed shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMarvelous:
I can't seem to get this to work for me, not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm on WiFi, 90 percent battery stock 4.4 on a Nexus 5. I've chosen my preferred settings and categories...Nada.
[Android Apps and Games] TJCacher:
Have you gone into wallpaper settings for your device and set 500 Firepaper as your live wallpaper?
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Does it show the error message white text on black background?

Just 3 finger press the wallpaper to force an update. That did it for me.

Also scratch my previous post, I'm using this now. B&W + brightness setting is great. Not sure the girlfriend is going to enjoy the naked wallpapers, but who cares.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMarvelous:
wow I feel pretty stupid. I hadn't said it as a live wallpaper on my device. That was the problem, thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] An Droid:
Could the three finger and three tap could be made a configurable option (including enable/disable)?
[Android Apps and Games] Devhux:
Only flaw is that it changes the image upon rotating my device (granted, main time I do that is when playing a game). Running it on my Nexus 4.

Edit: image is zoomed in too much when using this on Nova launcher, but that may be a Nova issue with how it handles wallpapers
[Android Apps and Games] cditty12:
Can you also make the 3 tap / open 500px website a enable/disable feature. When I load one of my existing apps, I have to tap in the same place 3 times. Even though the program is loaded and has focus, 500 firepaper takes over and opens the website. It would be nice to be able to enable/disable this feature.

Other than that, great app idea. I love it.
[Android Apps and Games] sturmen:
Awesome app, thanks!

Just a tiny thing... what resolution does it pull down the images at? Because on my HTC One, it doesn't seem to be the native 1080x1920.

This app rocks! My wife and I loved it so much!

And there are times that we fight on who's got the best wallpaper on our devices using this app. LoL!

Thank you so much!

My only concern here is, why is it that the wallpaper is not being displayed in fullscreen in LG G2?

(status bar and navigation bar always stays on black)

Unlike the static wallpapers and live wallpapers of G2, they are displayed in full screen.

(status bar and navigation bar are both transparent)

I don't know if it is an issue with the app or Nova Launcher or LG G2...
[Android Apps and Games] helfone:
Awsome app!

I don't understand why the parallax effect isn't working for me though? Im using a stock n4 with nova launcher. Would be great if anyone could help me solve the issue. Would really like to have the wallpaper move, but I'm not switching away from nova launcher. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
That should be due to Nova launcher.

try to use the stock launcher and check
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I've been trying, and I've not seen any live wallpaper work with transparent status/navigation bars on Nova Launcher. Then again, I don't have a g2.
[Android Apps and Games] kripler7:
How to save images.

... moderated by user request ...
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If you're actively trying to get banned, this is a great start. These images are copyright material we get a license for to cache/show for 24 hours. If you want them for whatever purpose, go to the 500px website and get them there. They may be free, or you may need to purchase. That's beyond my knowledge or influence. But this... this is just bad.
[Android Apps and Games] g.b.a.:
So maybe it's the Nova launcher as well as the LG G2 (even in stock launcher) that doesn't support

full screen live wallpaper ... (I don't know with the other device)

I tried installing a different live wallpaper aside from the built-in ones, still it is not in full screen.

But once the wallpaper is not live wallpaper (photo or multi-photo), then it is being displayed

in full screen (the status bar and navigation bar being transparent)...

Anyway, I can still live with this... this is really a great app! Thank you Chainfire...
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
On HTC One, running Android 4.3/Sense 5.5, on the stock Sense launcher, the status bar is static with static as well as 500 Firepaper.
[Android Apps and Games] g.b.a.:
"...status bar is static with static..?"

or do you mean the status bar is transparent in both static and live wallpaper?

lucky HTC One users!

maybe I will try with other launchers... or probably, wait for KitKat!
[Android Apps and Games] jonahs:
Filtering does not seem to work

In the last few days I've been trying this out and it works really well except for one thing where I can't see the root cause;

* Using KK on N4

* Try choosing any category or feature other than default

* Clean cache

* Seemingly no change in what pictures get downloaded

I have really gone about my way in trying to affect what pictures show up (cleaning data in Android settings for the app and using the built in cache cleaning features) but the same photos as the ones for when settings are on default show up.

Is there any way I can troubleshoot this more consistently? Logcat gives very little info.
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
status bar is transparent in both static and live wallpaper
[Android Apps and Games] bjornvil:
Tried this on N4 running KK 4.4 (KRT16O). I am using the GEL launcher with transparent status and navigation bars.

The launcher stutters noticably when this wallpaper is enabled.

Is this expected? Can I make some adjustments to improve performance?

No battery drain as such with this. everytime I picks up phone, it shows me new image, just love it. Thanks Master.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
I had my notification/status bar transparent yesterday to test out a simili-kitkat look using Nova and I could see the wallpaper under it without issue. Looked sweet, but my white clock would sometimes be in white parts of the picture so it would be difficult to see, so I reverted to black. All that on a Galaxy S3 under CM10.2.

I like the new option to disable refresh on rotation. I usually only rotate for a few apps and for a short time so it would be a shame to "lose" my current wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] cditty12:
Thanks for adding the 3 tap toggle. Works like a charm.
[Android Apps and Games] mattcooper:
Thanks for this Chainfire! Absolutely perfect, been looking for something,like this without the battery drain for ages...

Any chance of implementing a keyword/hashtag feature? For example, I wish 500px had a Space/Night Sky category, but they don't. Could you have an input field in the app that pulls images from the search results (I.e. I input 'Space' as the keyword, and the images used for my wallpapers would come from here, or something similar). Not sure if this is doable as have no idea about how the app is built/api's/ and where the images are pulled from, but would be awesome if you could let me know if it is/isn't possible...
[Android Apps and Games] kripler7:
Woops.

Woops. Sorry about that. I'm kind of new here. I'll take down the post. Not trying to encourage theft!

Edit: Can't seem to delete my post. But if the admin could do it for me that be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
Can you still edit that post? If so, just edit it and delete whatever you wrote.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say that I've noticed less lag, almost none really, when using parallax since version 1.20 came out. Either something was tweaked (maybe it was that triple-tap glitch when swiping), or it has something to do with me updating SuperSU to 1.75. Either way, we have Chainfire to thank! :good::victory:

Also, I've been using 500px a lot more since I installed this app. Being able to see a new wallpaper each time I turn my screen on forces me to go vote for the ones I like and I get to discover new photographers and other amazing pictures. So I think 500px should pay you for releasing this amazing app! They are benefiting tremendously from it! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I already edited it for him.

Being able to sign into 500px and like/add to favorites was originally the plan, but I simply haven't gotten round to it, and not sure if I ever will.

If I look at the user count for 500 Firepaper, I think it may not be long before 500px gets annoyed by the massive bandwidth usage, as well (and then we'll have problems)
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Seem that the newest update fixed this. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
What sort of numbers are you looking at? :|

Thought 500px would be prepared, haha
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
As of this morning, 35k users, times (extreme worst case scenario) 256m/day, is some 9 terabytes extra traffic ... :)

No doubt this doesn't mean much to 500px yet, but the userbase is growing quite quickly ... rarely have I had an app pick up users this fast.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Yeah, can't say that's completely nothing either.

I'm not completely surprised considering most people have wallpapers but not everyone needs to root, manage root or solidify the rooting experience, which most of your "big" apps are about usually. :silly:

Props on the growing userbase though. Hopefully a few more people than just me donate and we continue to see some great software coming from you for a long time. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] TJCacher:
I was so excited to get this app, and I'm happy for your success with it, but I have to say I cringed a bit every time a reference to it showed up in yet another news feed.

I've been asking myself how much traffic it would take before 500px would start looking at their analytics and doing a cost/benefit on the bandwidth.

I don't know how your app tries to manage bandwidth, but I've got my copy set to refresh once a day. No need to keep that cache filled with more than a couple of images when using a 24-hour refresh.
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
Probably coz you are well known and this is not root mandatory :)

It is so good that I have put it on 3 of my friend's devices :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes, changing download agressiveness based on refresh rate is certainly on my to-do list. However it does seem that most users have a fast refresh rate.

Of course we can always work around the issue by using my own cache server. That will become a costly proposition quite quickly though, and I would have to charge a (recurring) fee for it (doller per 1 or 3 months, probably). It's not something I really want to do, but there may be no other choice.
[Android Apps and Games] elgar:
Great app, thank you! Would be great not to change the image on screen rotation. Could this be an option in the settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
The option is already present in settings. However, if your launcher re-launches itself on screen rotation, it will not stick. Only if your launcher dynamically re-arranges its layout when rotating will it work. Some launchers do, some launchers don't.
[Android Apps and Games] elgar:
Ok, thanks. I use Apex. I guess it works the way you described.
[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
I think we are misunderstanding each other here. We can already sign into 500px to like/add to favourites. You don't need to do anything for that. The triple-click does the job. It loads the pic in 500px and we can like/add to favourites. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I know, but still originally I wanted to do some tap combination that would just "like", without launching any websites or apps :)
[Android Apps and Games] Phhoenyxx:
Ah, I understand, but I think we're running out of tap combinations. Could you imagine having to use a three-finger triple tap to like an image? It would start getting confusing remembering all the different combinations. ;)

It could also lead to accidentally liking an image we didn't actually like, so I think the current implementation is just perfect. :good:

Thanks, Chainfire!
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Double finger tap 3 times to like a pic? Get a little confirmation dialog asking if you want to like with Y/N then bam, done. I think that would be sweet.
[Android Apps and Games] Flossn:
This is just one great app!

Thanks Chainfire!

But as mentioned before there is a little bit of lag while using the parallax effect (Nexus 5 stock).

To fix that would be just like the cherry on the cake!

I think the possibility to like pictures is not what thousands of users would actually use. I think most of them (including myself) just want to have a nice new wallpaper every x minutes.

Not that you shouldn't implement that feature but don't forget what the standard user uses this app for.

I think this would be rather a power user feature in a paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] V@no:
I use touchwiz launcher on note2, with 2 pages and noticed that the picture is cut to about at most 1/2. Changing the page moves the picture but just a few pixels, so basically all you can see is 1/2 of the photo

Maybe it would be possible have an option to set how much of the photo it should move when parallex effect is enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] peanutplanters:
Auto-rotate doesn't seem to work on my stock N5 (using Nova)

I've tried setting to update only on Wi-FI vs not - no effect.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Any type of logging I can do to track down the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] V@no:
If I may, I'd like to request few features:

1. ability move wallpaper using three fingers. Some pictures are very wide and important stuff is on a side rather then on center, so moving the photo on the background would allow set proper position.

2. ability to share photos between 500 Firepaper users (not physically) by means of tripple tap with two fingers. If 500px API allows access to a specific image rather then random, then perhaps it could be possible generate an url that could be shared via messaging or email. Then by clicking on such link 500 Firepaper would set that image as background.

3. ability set how much of an image should be moved (in percent, where 100% is width of the visible screen) when parallex effect activated

Thank you.
